Additive Manufacturing Resources

Read about the latest developments in 3D printing and design for additive technology.

In this Special Focus Issue, we take a look at the expanding world of generative design.

There’s a place for nano 3D printing in research applications, but micro 3D printing is more practical for parts like small electrical connectors, cardiovascular stents, microfluidic devices, and micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS).

Additive Manufacturing has been around for 30 years — used in prototyping and now moving into production, but the biggest value of AM comes from prototyping and production of parts that are difficult to manufacture using other more traditional methods.

In this paper, we will compare laser-based SLA, Digital Light Processing (DLP) and Projection Micro Stereolithography (PμSL) and how each compare with the below factors.

PμSL technology is ideal for electronics, medical devices, microfluidics, filtration, and microelectro-mechanical systems (MEMS).

Regardless of your role within the business, you need to take a pragmatic approach when investing in 3D printing technology – one that is based on clear time- and cost-saving opportunities.

Advances in 3D printing make it ideal for prototyping, customized molds, manufacturing aids, and end-use parts. As a result, more companies are purchasing fused filament fabrication (FFF) 3D printers to streamline their production processes. But choosing the right 3D printer...

COMSOL users from around the world shared their stories with us, and now we are looking forward to sharing their expertise, insight, and innovative ideas with you.

The Cloud is Changing the Way Products are Designed

Bringing the 3D printing process in-house is an effective way of optimizing the product development workflow; enabling faster iterations and reduced costs.

The DE Hot Seat panel explores whether 3D printing is ready for mass production.

A method called Projection Micro Stereolithography (PµSL) is emerging as a new technology to produce parts at a length scale suited to (micro) prototypes, patterns, tools, jigs/fixtures, and end-use parts.

In this webinar, you'll learn the step by step process of how to use RTV moldmaking and in-house 3D printing to rapidly produce silicone parts

In this webinar, you'll learn about the pros and cons of investing in 3D printing hardware vs. relying on service bureaus.
